Four hospitals located in one city are cooperating to establisha centralized blood-bank facility to serve them all. On an xycoordinate grid of the city, the hospitals are found at thefollowing locations: Hospital 1 = (x = 5, y = 10), Hospital 2 = (7,6), Hospital 3 = (4, 2), and Hospital 4 = (16, 3). The expectednumber of deliveries per month from the blood bank to each hospitalis estimated at 450, 1200, 300, and I500, respectively. The traveldistances are computed with the metropolitan (i.e., rectilinear)distance metric.
For the location you have selected, how much is the totalmonthly distance traveled? You can assume that each gridcorresponds to a square where each side is exactly onekilometer.
